Slow-cooked Pork Tacos

Citi Field, the Shea Stadium replacement and home of the New York Mets, has added a great new baseball experience to Queens, NY. This venue is much more than just a stadium, it is home to some of the best baseball stadium food in the country with such non-standard stadium grub such as crab sandwiches, Kansas City-style Ribs and my favorite, slow-cooked pork tacos. I have tasted these tacos on many occasions and have put together a quick recipe for you to re-create these gems at home.
